A long, hooded cloak conceals his face and most of his body save for his arms and hands, both of which bear a number of scars.

The most curious of the scars is a circular marking centered in the palm of his right hand. He also often carries a wooden staff topped with a dragonfly.

Because his identity is unknown, his presence is always accompanied by a dark and mysterious aura. He shows himself to be a charismatic leader, having earned the unwavering loyalty of his allies and subordinates and is a remarkable military leader and civilization builder.

He holds a deep-seated hatred toward the human race, which denied his offer of salvation and which also probably killed him , and for this reason he decided to side with all nonhumans as the Ends and other monsters against the humans and anyone who would dare to help them, including the Drifters, the Elves , the Dwarves and the Oct.

His goal is to build a civilization of non-humans that rivals the accomplishments of the civilizations founded by humans, whom he believes to be cruel and oppressive a stark contrast to the thinking of his archenemy Abe no Seimei , who believes in the goodness of humanity and has no intention of starting a war between them and the non-humans.

However, despite this pessimistic view of humanity and the ensuing maltreatment of them on his part such as a mass slaughter of innocents and the abuse of human prisoners , the Black King has at times shown himself to have a good side as well, and is capable of kindness.

He looks after not only the Ends but also his soldiers, healing their injuries and granting them the resources they need without hesitation.

So this was quite an entertaining read, I must say! It has the same kind of set up when we compare first books; a feisty female lead, an alpha male whos destined to be our leads enemy but cant help himself falling in love with her even though he wont admit it, lol.

It has action, adventure, and a really interesting magical world which revolves around the Fae. The writing was quite good as in; it definitely kept me entertained and made for a fast-paced read.

So those elements were definitely something I really enjoyed. Overall, I did think that this was just an average read.

Book 2 is already waiting to be opened, so lets see how it all continues! Jul 18, Kat rated it it was amazing.

Struggling with what to write because I just loved this book! It was absolutely superb! Writing style is amazing, with the appropriate level of intrigue and mystery that youre on the edge of your seat and cant put it down!

I made the mistake of starting my journey through this book on my lunch break and almost ended up being late back to work because I completely lost myself in this fantasy world.

Highly recommend this book and cant wait for more!! Jul 23, Andrea rated it liked it Shelves: alpha-bs , romance , fantasy , ar , fae , kindle-unlimited , pnr.

Yes please. So in this story we have Aenor , a disgraced fae princess, who has been living amongst humans since good ole Victorian times- and is now living with her human friend Gina- when two mysterious fae assassins show up at her doorstep to take her out.

See in this world only a small group of fae are allowed to use their powers in the human realm mostly to hunt down other fae , while anyone one caught using their 3.

See in this world only a small group of fae are allowed to use their powers in the human realm mostly to hunt down other fae , while anyone one caught using their powers is usually sentenced to death.

Often by killing said abusers and killers. They write their own stories about you. They cast you in one of several roles.

The innocent girl who needed teaching. The lunatic who needed calming. Or in my case—the demonic prostitute fueled by rage and jealousy.

A fallen woman. That was my story, whether or not it was true. I'm still not convinced by Lyr Like how Aenor would suddenly be overcome with the need to sleep with him.

I'm not buying his nice guy routine- and I mean come on he did lie to her a lot and keep stuff from her. So not team Lyr atm. I am interested in where the story is going, and what is up with Salem and his whole backstory!

Aug 20, Carly rated it it was ok. This book had so much potential. The plot was really well thought out and interesting, however, the execution was severely lacking.

The main character and writing style were the most unbelievable parts. I found the main character's snark, while it had the potential to be humorous, was just childish and unbelievable.

One minute she described herself as super powerful, but then the next she was explaining how weak she was. Lots of contradictions.

Next, the actual writing style was very weak. There This book had so much potential. There was a lot of telling instead of showing, and not a lot of detail.

Most of the characters were written to be very shallow and air-headed, but also very powerful? This didn't work for me. It again, was unbelievable and childish.

The writing was also very simple and rushed. Would I recommend this book? That depends. I would say this book would be a good option for those who mainly read the romance genre.

The quick attraction between the two main characters is very similar to what I have seen in other romance books. But here in lies the problem: I have not had a good experience with the romance genre ever.

I find the genre to be too simple for me, with too much focus on the two love interests, and not enough focus on the actual story.

Because of this, I usually find the actual plot to be very underdeveloped. So yes, if these sorts of things do not bother you, yes I would recommend this book.

If you are looking for a book with thought provoking, believable characters with intricate plots and well developed writing, this is not the book for you.

Jul 23, Elke rated it it was amazing Shelves: five-stars. This is the first book from C. Crawford that I've ever read and I can't wait to read some more!

I usually have a list of things I did or didn't really like in a book, but this time I only have one: there is a character called Gwydion and creatures called gwyllion.

The first time I read about the creatures, my mind was going to the character and I really didn't understand what was going on. But thats about it really.

The story was amazing, I really liked that the characters each had their own This is the first book from C.

The story was amazing, I really liked that the characters each had their own flaws and I can't wait to read more from Lyr and Aenor! Maybe it was those extra two - or five - males I need in a book to really enjoy it.

Big feminist themes and lots of running for your life from fae out to kill you. The romance was kept in suspense which was good but I dont think its an epic love.

Well written and easy to pick up on the world building if you havent read any other series by this author. Not sure if Ill go back or not yet.

I did like it but not sure if theres anything 3. Time will tell. Jul 28, Pineappleapprovedbooks rated it did not like it Shelves: stupid-story , weak-characters.

Characters where terrible - like little kids who in one moment hits another and then five minutes later plays with toys together.

All I want to say is that some things shouldn't be to0 easy to forgive. And I don't mean to be a bitch to a person who made you hit your head against bricks, I mean also two bystanders who just watched and where calling her in degenerative names.

Main hero just later in book was like best friends with them and while still namecalling was included, it felt Oookay!! Main hero just later in book was like best friends with them and while still namecalling was included, it felt more in an almost friendly way.

So it was then that I decided that main heroine is stupid and lets others off the hook if enaugh time is passed and doesn't even care if they appologies.

Another fragment that made me hit my head against the wall: when she was trown into the prison first time, she was described to wear panties that were too big and where HANGING down and where stinking.

First image in my head is she is wearing a diaper. My mind just shuts down In conclusion - this book is just like other "no deep characters or story" and is just MEAH Jul 25, Lien rated it liked it Shelves: fantasy-paranormal , books-reading-challenge , enemies-to-lovers , 3-stars , reviewed.

I don't know what it was I stayed awake until 4am cause I couldn't stop reading but then the 2nd part somehow fell flat to me. It was kinda predictable but not in the oh-I-saw-that-coming-way but more like I wasn't really wowed or shocked by the revelations.

The tension between the h and H was good until they did the deed and I found myself suddenly not as invested in them as before.

Idk it was weird. This is probably a it's-not-you-it's-me situation. May 25, Nadia rated it really liked it.

Not bad Easy to read, fast-paced and funny, with a kickass heroine. Lyr on the other hand was a bit meh, with all his secret keeping and perfection in every possible aspect.

Like I wish he was a little bit flawed in some way. Beard Wearer. Vinyl Addict. Pub Poker Fish. Beer Drinker. A man of many talents, master of none.
